Trustee Bribe* 1* the right man
In the right plac* as chairman of the
park committee. He Is taking aa
astir* aod practical Interest tn the
work. A short time ago when th*
committee waa created, soon attar
tb* creek park was secured, a park
fond was also provided for. but
ther* was no money that could then
be appropriated to tbe fund. Mr.
Bribe* has been Intent on building
up tb* fund, but baa had to d*p*nd
lualnl.v on the *ale of gravel from
tb* creek bed acquired with the
park. Up to date tbere is about
9109 in the land, and this amount
wltl be Increaaed by the further sale
of gravel and an Income wilt be provided from the tax levy, sufficient to
glr* a working capital
Mr. Byxbee Is now Interested In
protecting tb* creek bank from being washed away at points where II
encroaches on Palo Alto avenue. A
plan bu been suggested that meets
with his approral. This plan Is to
form a barrier of willows by Inserting th*m into tb* ground and also
wearing them Into these upright
willow saplings. Then the dirt
hauled from tbe streets tbat ara lo
ba graded ln the spring can be
dumped lo to fill the washce. This
will serve the double purpose uf
providing a plac* to dispose of the
dirt and of fining in tbe waghad
places. Tb* willow* will grow r*ad-
lly and form a network of roota
which wlll prevent further washing.
Tbe willow* for tbla purpose can be
had along the Kmbarradero road,
where they grow In unlimited qnan-
tttlea and will cost nothing exrrflt
the cutting and hauling.
Mr. Byxbee la alao looking forward to parking' th* strip along
Alma street adjoining the railroad
right of way, thus carrying nut tbe
plan tbat baa beea contemplated for
aome time of making tb* front of

Washington. Jan. 25.—Raa) war
Is to b* opened apon President
Rooaevelt by the senate, according
to the plans laid yesterday. Ba*
ginning wtth next Monday every appointment aent In by blm is to bs
bald up and scrutinised to see
whether the sppolate Is a Taft man
or not. If It turns out tbat b* Is,
or that there 1* ground to suspect
him of -being friendly to Taft, hto
nomination wlll be rejected.
Furthermore, tbe plan for having
congress adjourn early, about tbe
last of April for instance, is to be
abandoned for fear that during adjournment the President might
make aome recess appointments of
Taft men. If necessary to prevent
him, the p\* Is to keep congress In
seaslon up to tbe time to* first ballot Is taken at Chicago. '
It Is admitted on all aides tbat a
bitter war against tbe PresldenL the"
official head of th* party, of tb* kind
tbat ha* been planned will not help
much toward Republican victory tn
November. Tbe RepubtliAn senators, however, seem' to care very uttl* at present about that.
Tbe President's announcement of
his Intention to compile the records
to show thst he hss not been ap*
polntlng Taft man to office caused S
number of eager Inqulr)** to be
made by newspaper men for the
facts In tbe case. The anti-Roosevelt senators, however, would not
give up any facts thsy may bave.
